This Easter Egg Dyeing Hack Will Blow Your Mind

When you're a kid, dying Easter eggs feels magical. As an adult, we have some complaints. First, you've gotta hard boil eggs. Then, you've gotta stink up your kitchen with vinegar. And when it's time to dye, don't even get us started on that flimsy metal egg dipper. All we'll say is, it's not...functional.

Enter: this absolutely genius Easter egg hack from our friends at Reynolds, using something you probably already have in your kitchen. A slow-cooker! The best part? You don't even have to boil your eggs first because the slow-cooker does it for you. See? Told ya it was genius!

To start, make aluminum foil walls to divide your slow-cooker bowl into sections—as many sections as you want colors. Next, fit each section with a slow-cooker bag. Add water and food coloring to each section (you could even mix colors for fun shades like blue-green or red-orange) and give it a good stir. Pop in unboiled eggs and let your slow-cooker do the rest! On the lowest setting, the eggs will cook and the food coloring will dye the eggs to a surprisingly bright hue.
